The internet was agog this week after a handful of Kanye West fans appeared to have no idea who Paul McCartney was.

On January 1st Yeezy released a new track online, Only One, featuring guest musician Macca on keyboards. A handful people subsequently revealed that, horror of horrors, they had no idea who this Paul guy was.

Comments on Twitter included: ‘Who tf is paul mccartney???!??’; ‘ I don’t know who Paul McCartney is, but Kanye is going to give this man a career w/ this new song!!’; and ‘I still don’t know who Paul MacArthur is.’

While some or all of these tweets could be jokes, the resulting fuss on Twitter has been furious, with many people in utter disbelief that someone could be ignorant about the influential musical Scouser.

Parents: if your child doesn't know who Paul McCartney is, you have failed your child. Children: if you don't know who he is, start studying
